"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think most readers didn't make it past the first sentence before the outrage got them.
This poster is a symptom of the bubble. Another bottom feeder looking to jump into the oceans of cash being thrown around to capture a market that doesn't yet exist.
No responsible decision-maker would replace employees with AI (it is, at best, a niche tool useful for some professionals, not a replacement). We're already seeing business failures resulting from this kind of bad decision making.
It's like the 2008 mortgage-backed securities crisis. Short-term thinking results in long term consequences.
In the future, this poster will be looked at like a Lehman Brothers brochure on their new mortgage investment offerings. It's not a sign of how the world will be in the future, its evidence that even rich people can be idiots at scale.
I agree with everything you said apart from the last bit. "even rich people can be idiots" implies that they are less likely to be idiots than your average Joe.
